European Pilgrimage Details For private circulation only VOICE OF THE EXARCH Greetings and blessings to my brethren in the name of our Lord and God Jesus Christ! We are in the middle of the Great Lent. Abstinence from meat, fish, egg, fasting on Fridays, Yama prarthanakal of the Great Lent, 40 prostrations at noon with austerity and repentance expected during the Lent are surely taking us closer to the Divine. The confession we undertake during the Season of the Pasch (Pesaha) in this Holy Year of Mercy will instill in us a deep sense of repentance and transform our lives to be oriented towards Christ. The experience of conversion of life and receiving the mercy of God should be transmitted to others through sharing, the sharing of the savings from austerity with someone who is in despair; sharing of our advantages with someone who is in need; and the sharing of our own hearts for the upliftment of others. Let us appropriately observe the Great Lent in order to celebrate Easter in a more meaningful and grace-filled way! Malankara Catholic Mission in Goa As you have already been informed and invited, the Malankara Catholic Mission in Goa is ready to be inaugurated with the solemn Holy Qurbono on 13 March 2016. In the present situation of the Exarchate, the task of co-ordinating the Goa Mission is entrusted to Fr. Varghese Valikkodath.I urge you to forward to Fr. Valikkodaththe names of Malankara Catholics you know (be it your parishioners, relatives, friends, or neighbours) who are living in and around Goa. Let the inception of Goa Mission be a solid stepping stone in the formation of new Mission Centres in the Exarchate. Realization of the First Phase of Khopoli Project By the grace of Almighty God and with the support of many generous hearts, we have succeeded in buying around 61/2 acres of land at Khopoli. Since Khopoli is a fast-growing town situated between Pune and Mumbai, the advantage of the land can be shared between both Pune and Mumbai Ecclesiastical Districts. Logistically placed alongside the Expressway, it is accessible to the whole of South India and can be developed as a common centre for all. A second phase has already been initiated in view of bringing our faithful around this area. 3 THE EPHREMITE Jeevan Darshan Camp and VocationCamp Two Camps are being organized in the Exarchate during the Summer holidays: Jeevan Darshan Camp in the District level and VocationCamp in the Exarchial level. Jeevan Darshan Camp will be conducted after the Annual Examination of the children by the Brothers who are studying for the Exarchate in different Seminaries. The Camp includes realization of oneself, the orientation of one's life and the career opportunities available in the present scenario and guidance to one's vocation in life. The District Catechism Directors are expected to arrange the Camps according to the convenience of each District. Vocation Camp will be conducted in the month of May under the guidance of Fr. Varghese Valikkodath, the Exarchial Vocation Promoter for the aspiring candidates who intend to join the Minor Seminary of the Exarchate which is planned to be inaugurated in June 2016. All children who wish to join Seminary or Ashram or Convent are expected to give their names to Fr. Varghese Valikkodath before 15 March 2016 through their respective Vicars / Sisters / Catechism Headmasters. A team of Brothers under the leadership of Fr. Valikkodath will be visiting their houses in order to pray and strengthen them in their vocation. Kindly pray for more vocations to priestly and religious lives. European Pilgrimage in line with the HolyYearof Mercy A spiritual journey to the Pilgrim Centres in Europe is envisaged during the Holy Year of Mercy in the month of June 2016. Vatican-Rome- Assisi-Padua-Milan-Turin-Avingnon-Lourdes-Fatima-Lisiuex-Avila are included in this pilgrimage. This is arranged in view of the 'Pilgrimage to the Holy Door of Mercy' in St. Peter's Basilica Vatican. Consider this as a 'once-in-a-life opportunity' and make the best advantage of the pilgrimage under the auspices of the Exarchate. Inauguration of the Social Service Society of the Exarchate The charitable activities of the Exarchate will take a formal form with the inauguration of the Social Service Society of the Exarchate on 12 March 2016. Rev. Msgr. Varghese Mattamana, the Secretary of the Exarchial Commission for the SocialApostolate and the formal Director of Caritas India will be guiding and co-ordinating the Social Service Society. Let us join hands with him and the team in realizing the social and charitable 4 THE EPHREMITE commitments of the Exarchate. Formation of Resource Teamsin the MCYM I am extremely happy to know that a new venture named as 'Resource Team' for the required faith formation and personality development of the Malankara Catholic Youth has been initiated in all five Districts of the Exarchate. This monthly programme guided by the Exarchial Director and the Exarchial Animators of MCYM should evolve into a model imitable project for the MCYM in other places. This effort will surely hold the Youth together in Christian principles, Catholic faith and Malankara tradition. I encourage the Youth to actively involve in this unique attempt. Vestitionof the Brothers Five Brothers who are entering the Theology Course will formally receive the Priestly Cassock in a liturgical function planned on Saturday, 28 May 2016 at St. Mary's Malankara Catholic Cathedral Khadki. Your earnest prayers and esteemed presence will strengthen the Bothers in their journey to priesthood. Let us remember Bros. Justin Chempanal, Paul Vettikkattil, Thomas Attumalil, Paul Alamkott and Joseph Dinakaran in our daily prayers. Happy and Glorious Easter! I wish you all, all our families a happy and glorious Easter! “Peace be with you!” - Jesus shares the peace with everyone he encounters after his resurrection. May this peace of the Risen Lord reign in our hearts and homes and communities and the world! Yoursloving in our Lord X Thomas Mar Anthonios OIC Apostolic Exarch "O Lord, help me so that the works of this world may not the power that separates me from you and that I may dedicate each one of them to you and do them. Whenever I engage myself in them, let not my soul forsake your loving association and when my mind consider about worldly affairs, bless me to remain with you and think about them."

    Diocesan Bulletin - January, 2015 Mar Jacob Angadiath with His Holiness Pope Francis at the Canonization of Saint Chavara Kuriakose & Saint Euphrasia The faith confession of St. Thomas the Apostle, “My Lord and My God”, stands in the history as the most profound confession on Jesus’ true identity. ‘Lord’ and ‘God’ are the equivalent words for the Greek terms ‘Kyrios’ and ‘Theos’ respectively used to denote the Hebrew words ‘Yahweh’ and ‘Elohim’, two expressions used to address the Almighty One. Making use of these words to the Resurrected Lord, Thomas equates Jesus to the Absolute Deity. He connects the Old Testament and New Testament understanding of God. St. Thomas Syro-Malabar St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Catholic Diocese of Chicago, by Catholic Diocese of Chicago living and experiencing the faith confession of her patron through the celebration of her liturgy, aims at the deepening of the identity and heritage of Syro-Malabar Church in the United States of America.

  • Apostle Number 19
    Number XIX September—November 2008 LET US ALSO GO, THAT WE MAY DIE WITH HIM John 11:16 APOSTLE Newsletter of the Society of Saint Pius X, 1 Marcel Lefebvre Place, Annie Nagar, Seevalaperi Road , Palayamkottai, TN 627002, India Dear Friends and Benefactors, There never was anything so perilous or so exciting as orthodoxy. It was sanity: and to be sane is more dramatic than to be mad. If G. K. Chesterton were a contempo- rary of His Lordship Bishop Richard Wil- liamson, he might well have had the Bishop in mind when he wrote these lines, for His Lordship’s orthodox view of the world is nothing if not dramatic. “There will be a great chastisement,” His Lord- ship repeatedly warns, “natural or man- made, by which God will punish mankind for its infidelity to His law. He will purge the Church of its modern churchmen for they have lost the Faith.” Modern churchmen, as you might expect, are none too pleased by these calamitous prophecies, but history has reminded us time and time again: if you play fast and loose with the truth, with the sacraments and with souls, God will not be mocked; His justice will prevail. G.K.C. appropriately continues: It is always easy to be a modernist; as it is easy to be a snob. … It is always simple to fall; there are infinity of angles at which one falls, only one at which one stands. To have fallen into any one of the fads from Gnosticism to Christian Science would have indeed been His Lordship Bishop Williamson in India.

  • India- Holy See Relations
    India- Holy See Relations Diplomatic relations between India and the Holy See were established soon after India’s independence in 1948. India’s Ambassador in Berne, Switzerland, has traditionally been accredited to the Holy See which maintains a Nunciature (Embassy) in New Delhi, presently headed by a Nuncio (Ambassador). India has the second largest Catholic population in Asia including those from Kerala dating from Apostolic times. A large number of Indians have joined various Roman Catholic Orders and many occupy high positions within the Catholic Church including those in Rome. India and Indians have a positive image in the world Catholic community. The Holy See has always acknowledged the importance of India, both in global and Asian terms. There have been three Papal visits to India so far. The first Pope to visit India was Pope Paul IV, who visited Mumbai in 1964 to attend the International Eucharistic Congress. Pope John Paul II visited India in February 1986 during which he visited different parts of India, including Missionaries of Charity in Kolkata and met with the Indian leadership. He again visited India on a State Visit from 5-7 November, 1999. He met with the then President Shri K.R. Narayanan, Vice President and the Prime Minister, Atal Behari Vajpayee. During the visit he presided over the concluding celebrations of the special assembly of Synod of Bishops of Asia and he signed and released the post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation. New Delhi was specially chosen by the Pope to hold this Special Concluding celebrations. The special assembly of Synod of Bishops of Asia was held at the Vatican from April 19 to May 14, 1998.

For private circulation only 2 Krupa Nidhan Message of the Shepherd The feast of Qyomdo is celebrated yet again. However every Easter is a renewal of the assurance of our destiny which is not just to fade away here. It is the guarantee that our faith is not futile and that our proclamation is not in vain (1 Cor 15: 17). God out of his infinite love and mercy gave His only son to redeem this world. (John 3:16). The Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, suffered, died and was resurrected so that we may have life in abundance. (John 10:10). All this was realized only because the Mercy of God became flesh in the person of Jesus Christ, our Master. The Year of Mercy reiterates this reality. And the feast of resurrection, in this context, becomes for us an obligation to ‘be merciful like our heavenly Father’ (Luke 6:46). This obligation is to be lived in our daily lives through our small acts of love and kindness to our fellow beings especially those in need.

  • Catholic Missions in Japan and China
    Catholic Missions in Japan and China During the 16th and 17th centuries Catholic missionaries made great progress in the two largest Asian countries of Japan and China. Both countries presented enormous challenges, not only due to language and cultural barriers, but also to the fact that both countries were highly civilized and had well respected and long established religious traditions of their own. In spite of tremendous effort and the successful conversion of thousands of souls, both missions collapsed so by the end of the 17th century, almost all progress had been lost. In Japan, the Catholic efforts to evangelize ended dramatically when a new emperor chose to persecute and execute his Christian subjects and all westerners were forbidden to enter the country for almost 200 years. In China, the collapse of the Ming dynasty did great harm to the missions but their killing blow was self-inflicted: Jesuits and other religious orders disagreed on whether to forbid Ancestor worship and the conflict led to the withdrawal of Chinese missions. Christian Persecutions and the '26 Martyrs of Japan' Japan opened its doors to St. Francis Xavier, but the clever intellectual people of Japan were not so easily converted as the simple pariahs of India. Long and learned discussions with the Buddhist priests of Japan were necessary before they would yield to the preaching of Xavier. His austerity of life, his commanding eloquence, his miracles, and an irresistible charm of manner, won him many converts; but the pride of the Bonzes and the dissolute habits of the people, were, at times, insurmountable obstacles.

  • The Archive and the Festival
    ARTICLE The Archive and the Festival Lisa Voigt The Ohio State University, Columbus, United States KEYWORDS ABSTRACT archive This article offers a brief overview and assessment of the opportunities and challenges that repertoire written, visual, and digital records hold for the study of early modern festivals, using Diana early modern festivals Taylor’s terminology of the “archive” and the “repertoire” and examples from colonial Latin American and early modern Iberian festivals as points of departure. While archival records are royal entry far from transparent records of the events, they can help to illuminate the multiple, sometimes Philip III conflicting agendas behind both the festivals and their pictorial or textual representation. Digital Lisbon archives promise to make early modern festivals more broadly accessible for comprehensive and comparative study, but they carry their own risks by disconnecting both researchers and records colonial Latin America from the embodied presence of contemporary festive repertoires.
